WELCOME TO MY STITCHERY BLOG.
I would like to think that whilst you are here with me you enjoy my whimsical world of sewing and all things vintage.
I adore treasure hunting for old fabrics, buttons, threads and stitchery goods ... One mans rubbish is another's treasure. Creating is in my soul and I hope that comes across within these pages.
I love creating, nature and herbal teas ... Cinnamon being my new favourite!
So why not stay a while and join me on this journey of creativity.

February already ... this is scary!!

February brings the rain.

Thaws the frozen lakes again!

So please tell me where January has gone? I really feel like we just packed up from Christmas and already we are into our second month of 2016.

The weather is terrible here but I am very well aware that there are some very bad conditions in the North of our tiny island and people have been flooded out of their homes and businesses so really I have nothing to complain about. We have a soggy garden but that is it. On go the wellies to feed the birds and my tame squirrel.

This is the month that some great vintage fairs start and I am very much looking forward to starting the circuit again this year. I feel I have not been to one for ages. My cough is all but gone but has taken nearly 6 months to do so ( shhh I should not have spoken too soon, just in case it thinks that I am missing it and decides to re visit me!!)

After my visit to the V & A the other week and sitting in the fashion exhibit scribbling in my journal I am in the middle of designing a 1920/30 piece. I have been looking closely into their fashion and magazines of the time. I adore this era of fashion, even their PJ'S were stunning in silks with matching dressing gowns.

I would love to get hold of a stitching magazine of the time and have been trolling and truffling through the internet and Ebay. So I am pleased that the vintage fairs are starting because you never ever know what will be on offer to purchase, it is very exciting.

So today I am going to do a little research and have a designing day I think plus I have a little pile of hand stitching ( tiny project things) that I want to get finished so that is my day planned. How about you?

Have a great day whatever you are up to and as always Happy Stitching!
